Common Reasons Car Batteries Fail
Extreme weather, leaving lights on, an old battery, or even a parasitic drain can all lead to a dead battery. These issues strike suddenly and often without warning.
If your battery is over 3 years old, or if you’ve noticed dimming lights or slow cranks, it’s likely time to replace it.
Signs You Need a Jump Start
If your car won’t start but your dashboard lights come on, a jump start might get you going. Other signs include a rapid clicking sound or total silence when turning the key.
These are clear signs of a weak or drained battery, often resolved with a professional jump start.
When a Jump Start Isn’t Enough
Sometimes a battery is too far gone for a jump. If your battery won’t hold a charge, shows corrosion, or is bloated, you’ll likely need a full replacement.
Also, if your vehicle dies again shortly after a jump, the issue could be deeper—like a failing alternator or internal battery damage.
